+- You will investigate a topic that ideally intersects this year's topic/theme with something of value to your own research goals. Good research always begins by seeking out key papers and other relevant research resources.
- Some investigative tips:
- Use Wikipedia to identify keywords or terms, questions and issues, foundational publications and controversies, etc. This can also help to make your search more narrow/specific. Look for the edges of a body of research. Wikipedia is an excellet network of conceptual nodes (but also a potential rabbithole). But remember that it is an encyclopedia, and should be used mainly as a guide map.
- Use these terms and publications in Google Scholar and other academic search engines to find for papers that address the questions and issues. Follow
cited by
and related articles
trails to find new leads. Aim to find the most significant (qualitatively & quantitatively) papers. You should be aiming for a collection of 25-50 potentially interesting papers on the topic at this point.

+- From this reading list, select 8-12 of them to study in more careful detail as you create an Annotated Bibliography.
- Use skimming/speed reading and organization to identify those that are most interesting or most worthy of more detailed review; and which would constitute an adquate treatment of the topic.
- Aim for diversity. Avoid using the same authors for the majority of the selection. Include distinct and opposing viewpoints if possible.
- Use primary sources where possible (in particular avoid blog posts, news articles, etc.), unless the secondary source adds a significant new idea (in which case you may want to cite both).

Final Paper
-- The final paper can continue from the Literature Review. You may incorporate documenting & contextualize your practice studies or one of your artworks. You could write a 'white paper' on a technique. You might re-implement a known research paper, and analyze the results. Or you might discuss more deeply ideas encountered in the bibliography. Perhaps pen a manifesto.

- Find a few other papers online that have similar focus, and analyze their structure as a guide.
- Find related conferences/symposia/journals/etc. to contrast other papers as well as submission and review criteria.
- You should identify at least one conference/festival/other appropriate venue to submit your research or research-creation. Investigate papers submitted to this in past years, and the submission requirements and review criteria.
- Document these findings in your journal.

The notion of publishing in academia has been rapidly changing, and these changes are accelerating under pandemic conditions.
- See https://www.pubpub.org for an example of a modern online-first collaborative publishing venue. Many conferences in recent years have moved over to this format (e.g. NIME, ICLC).
- See https://distill.pub for an example of a modern, web-based peer-reviewed journal with embedded visualizations and interactive components.
- See https://jar-online.net for a different example more focused on art theory & practice.
- Alternatively, create your own using github, github-pages, html5/css/js, markdown/pandoc, D3.js, webgl or similar.
- Whichever platform is used, the paper should meet academic standards of relevance, clarity of writing, structure, balanced and evidence-based argument, critical thinking, and appropriate level and kinds of academic references.

- Post your final paper online -- either inside or linked from your journal.
